Positions

LiberalConservative

Immigration & Border

Advocates enforcement-first border policy, calling to finish construction of a border wall, to "end the invasion," and to prioritize Texas in border security efforts.

Abortion & Reproductive Rights

The candidate states that life begins at conception and calls for no compromise on protecting life, indicating a strongly pro‑life stance opposing abortion access.

Climate & Energy

The candidate emphasizes conservative energy priorities focused on American energy dominance and energy independence and frames energy as an economic/sovereignty priority rather than advocating aggressive emissions regulations or Green New Deal–style policies. Public campaign materials and endorsements position him with mainstream Republican energy themes such as unleashing U.S. energy production and cutting red tape. There is no campaign evidence found supporting ambitious greenhouse‑gas targets or large federal clean‑energy transition programs.

Public Safety & Guns

Supports the Second Amendment and frames gun rights as protected from federal interference, emphasizing protection of the right to keep and bear arms while positioning as a conservative who backs law-and-order allies. No explicit support for expanded background checks, assault-weapons bans, or red flag laws was found in campaign materials reviewed.
